Pros: Good size and quickness, great strength. Used to be a wrestler, that has been credited by many top defenders, especially DT's, as having helped their game.

Six tackles, including a TFL, and a hurry vs. Penn State ... Four tackles vs. Michigan ... Five tackles, including a TFL, at Illinois ... Led all NU defensive linemen with 70 hits ... Second on team with 7 TFLs ... 176 career tackles.

2002: CoSIDA Academic All-District second-team and Academic All-Big Ten selection ... A leg injury hindered his progress during preseason ... Played at Air Force and then earned season's first start vs. TCU ... Started last seven games ... Ranked fifth on team and led all linemen with 84 tackles ... Equaled a career high with 10 tackles vs. Indiana ... Against Ohio State, totaled nine tackles (four solos) as well as a fumble recovery ... Eight tackles at Minnesota ... Totaled seven tackles at Air Force ... Had five tackles and a 1/2 TFL vs. TCU ... Seven tackles and a pass deflection vs. Duke ... Racked up 10 tackles at Navy, despite hurting his knee in the first half ... Eight tackles (five solos) at Michigan State ... Six hits at Penn State ... Six tackles vs. Purdue ... Six tackles at Iowa ... Two tackles and a pass breakup vs. Illinois.

Third-team all-state as a junior ... Team MVP and captain ... Recorded 89 tackles, eight sacks, five forced fumbles his senior year ... Recorded 159 tackles and 18 sacks in his high school career ... Lettered eight times as a prep (three--football, three--track, two--wrestling) ... State's top-ranked heavyweight wrestler ...

I\'ve heard his name, and he doesn\'t seem like a bad choice, too bad we will prob grab him at 16 so he doesn\'t get away. :nutz:
